The Real Love

Chapter 15

Earl's POV

Stone cold, stone cold
You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor
Stone cold, stone cold
Maybe if I don't cry, I won't feel anymore

It's been a month. Surprisingly, I didn't break down. Honestly, I don't feel anything.

Stone cold, baby
God knows I tried to feel
Happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand, I'll take the pain
Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through
If happy is her, I'm happy for you

I stood up from my bed. As much as I want to stay sleep, I can't. I'm busy.

While the music on my phone is
playing, I got up and washed my face and did my daily routine. I looked at the mirror and stared at myself.

Those two cold eyes, that nose and that flat lips. I wore all of those. Like I used to be.

Stone cold, stone cold
You're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone
Stone cold, stone cold
I was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold

I got myself out of the comfort room and changed my clothes into something comfortable. I get my bag and then my phone. I stared on it.

Stone cold, baby
God knows I tried to feel
Happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand, I'll take the pain
Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through
If happy is her, I'm happy for you

Even if I want to deny it, I couldn't. Because until now, there's still little hope, wishing him to call or just text me. But as I've said. It has been a month..

Don't wanna be stone cold, stone
I wish I could mean this but here's my goodbye

Did we even say goodbye? No.
As far as I know, we didn't. Are we still together? I smirked. I don't think so. Tsk.

Oh, I'm happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand
If happy is her, if happy is her
I'm happy for you

I stopped the music and went out from my room. I have to go to the place I know I could be happy.

"Hindi ako naligo"

Ayan agad ang bungad ko sa taong kanina pang naghihintay sa akin sa kanilang nalaking bahay.

"Really? Yuck", maarteng sabi nya

I didn't mind that and just stared at him.

"Don't stare at me, I'm getting goosebumps", he said again while placing his towel on the chair. He put it there.

"So ano bang gagawin natin ngayon?", tanong nya then lumusong na sa tubig.

We are at there pool side. That's why I didn't bother to take a bath this morning dahil dito kami ngayon.

Well, if you're wondering what is happening, I am teaching him.

I am teaching James.

Remember when he had a fight and got beaten by the three thesis guys? Simula noon ay na-curious na sya sa akin. Hindi nya ako tinantanan ng tanong kung paano ko daw nagawa yun at saan ako natuto. James is not a typical good boy though, he also know how to fight. It was just that, he didn't fought back to the three guys dahil nanganganib daw ang isa nyang subject at ayaw nyang nagka-record pa dahil baka bumagsak pa sya. Tsk.

But even though that's the case, it is also almost one month since we started this training.

Malakas sya pero mas malakas ako. And that's the truth. That's why he insisted na turuan ko daw sya. Psh. But I didn't resist, gusto ko din to. This became my happy habit.
